Ron’s not even right after a sweep … payroll/win Cleveland Miami TBR StL Athletics Pitt White Sox Cincy Washington Minnesota Milwaukee Colorado Seattle SDP Cubs Worst Mets Phillies Houston Toronto Boston SFG

Ron walked right into it. Also applicable to SD/Milwaukee/Seattle/TBR.

Have the standards fallen so far that this thread wasn't held for the first WC or AL Central title under Getz? Or sweeping the Yankees? We just swept the 14th or 15th team in the AL...isn't that to be expected after 2 1/2 years when it was posited by JR that even one year was just too much time to waste? And one sure result of being relatively close to first place means that Getz will be pilloried for trading Mune for less than his perceived value....

1. SDP $425 million 2. Seattle $379 3. STL $373 4. Baltimore $369 5. Cleveland $336 6. Milwaukee $335 7. Arizona $328 8. Pittsburgh $326 9. Cincy/Washington $325 KCR/Minnesota $324 13. Detroit $320 (arguably overspending on payroll) 14. Colorado $318 15. TBR $297 16. CHW $277 17. Oak/SAC $257

That’s since 2011…the better metric is which small and mid market teams can generate the most revenue? We all know the white Sox have been 28th through 30th by that metric since Getz took over, agreed???

Guardians’ Allocative Cost Efficiency Championship flags fly forever at Progressive.

this is why you can’t ever take a pitcher 1-1 Especially small and mid market teams have to draft a ton of these guys in later rounds like the Guardians typically do

High/max effort velocity like that typically equals 1 1/2 year recovery….unless tjs revision or internal brace. 2028 off-season, ST.

Well, we were just right behind the Angels for 14th in AL playoff odds…entering the series. 73-89 pace now Still below Fegan’s 79 prediction. WestEddy was somewhere around 77-78, right? https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/lg 71-91 Angels 2.8% wc 70-92 White Sox 2.2% wc Nationals and Rockies both in the 60s. Yankees Dodgers Braves only teams projected in 90s.

19th place in mlb 3rd in Central

Pereira also had a label of always being hurt as a Yankees' prospect. Here we are again. Who could have possibly known?

Or at least watch Project Hail Mary.

If you mean the JR situation will take care of itself...I can agree with that.

If that's not the case and they picked Emerson anyway...in order to buy Getz more time for example, that would be beyond idiotic.

Autographed?

"that there's a long way to go and its all garbage until then be my guest" the second hyperbolic part of the sentence is the rub the pendulum will always ebb and flow is being concerned whether they can afford to keep Colson or Murakami not a real concern? Colson $125-150 million Mune $225-275 million you'd have SoxTalk splitx almost 50/50 on those extensions for all kinds of pro and com reasons Same with Noah Schultz for that matter. I don't think SoxTalk can scare Getz into taking Emerson...that sounds a bit ridiculous. GMs have to stand by the courage of their conviction...like Breslow in Boston. If he's proved wrong he's probably out of a job because Henry's unlikely to sell. Already gone Epstein to Cherington to Bloom to Breslow in the past decade plus.

The defensive challenge sticking at SS will be just as big if not more than hitting at BIRM as he moves up.

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/lg 1.9% up from 0.4% Angels next at 3.5% already ahead of Nats and Rockies

this has to be the longest weeknight winner's thread in 2026 here's an interesting one...Seiya Suzuki and Murakami almost are exact mirrors of each other in terms of hitting stances

What have you been drinking recently? Or peyote/mushrooms/LSD/hallucinogenics?

We're currently tied for 23rd... that's not a fifth quintile team any longer!!! break out the champagne FG has to have the Sox at higher than 1% playoff/WC odds by now

You can't force us to be positive when Mune had three k's...and is likely to be traded soon. And Quero banished to Winston-Salem.
